Jakub Józef Orliński, countertenor
Il Pomo d’Oro
Beyond
Riveting Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński is among the most sought-after singers today, celebrated for his beauty of tone and an uncommon unity of color and polish across his vocal range. Last season he made a thrilling company debut as Orpheus at San Francisco Opera, a performance praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “radiant and magical,” and he has sung with many of the world’s most esteemed early-music groups. Orliński returns to Berkeley this season with the sensational ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, in a program of rarely performed works from the 16th and 17th centuries—by Monteverdi, Caccini, Frescobaldi, Cavalli, Strozzi, and others. Orliński’s last Cal Performances recital sold out—with audiences demanding multiple encores—so don’t miss this opportunity to hear a true star at the height of his artistry!
This performance is made possible, in part, by Patron Sponsors Michael A. Harrison and Susan Graham Harrison
